The Holga's Famous Functions

//Natural Vignetting Effect
Sometimes it takes a plain-jane shot to appreciate a Holga's images true majesty: dreamlike, somewhat soft, vignetted at the corners, overflowing with color, and absolutely bursting at the seams with personality. It's easy to see why this plastic machine is so fiercely addictive. To spice things up just a little bit, try putting one of our color or multiple images in front of your lens. More samples

GRANNYSNAPS_HOLGA_LIGHT_LEAKS.jpg
//Light leaked & messed up
The most unique trademark aspect of the Holga are light leaks and light incidences on your negative. This can be anything from a slight red tint to a fully burnt out image with the film exp number burning onto the negative. It's most likely to happen in bright sunlight, after dropping the camera or slightly loosening your spool for developing. Samples
HERE.

GRANNYSNAPS_HOLGA_MULTI_EXPOSURE.jpg
//Multiple Exposures
The Holga has a separate shutter and advance –meaning that you can shoot as many times as you like on the same frame without advancing. This feature can be intentional or accidentally ruin a single exposure photo.
Multiple exposures can create complex and stunning images and also turn accidental double exposures into photographic miracles. Samples HERE.

GRANNYSNAPS_HOLGA_LONG_EXPOSURE.jpg
//Long exposures
Choose between 2, the standard daytime speed or the exotic long-exposure “B” setting - where you can hold the shutter open for as long as you want. To all you night photograping vigilanties out there, you may now capture dazzling night images without a flash. Pair it with a flash to freeze your sharp, flashed subject in front of a streaming, glowing background. Samples HERE.

GRANNYSNAPS_HOLGA_CROSS_PROCESS.jpg
// Cross Processing
The prime choice for outrageous colors. This consists of developing a slide film. By using the “wrong” chemicals, the colours become displaced and your image explodes with brightness, saturation, and contrast. The unpredictability of results is perfect for the Holga photographer and gives the photo an even softer edge. Each film and laboratory will produce different results. More samples HERE.

GRANNYSNAPS_HOLGA_COLOUR_FLASH.jpg
//Colored flash
The flash on the Holga 120 CFN/GCFN & mini MFC includes built-in color gels. Tint your shots with color or create weird portraits of people at night. Use it as a fill light with color during the day where nearby subjects will be colored in while maintaining the natural light in the background or enhance your double exposures with one frame of color. The possibilities and combinations are endless. More samples HERE.
